I have two male cocker spaniels 1 is 5 years old and has sired 5 litters. The second is 9mths old.
I have been trying to get the 9mth to sire a litter with my 4 year old female how has had two litters with the 5 year old male but she got out with the older male but still had no puppies.
My second female how is 18mths old and has not had a litter yet is now on heat but the two males dont seem to care and show no intrest in her she is about 8-10 days into her heat.

Females should never be mated under the age of 2 years, this is not your problem. It is recommended that Male dogs shouldn't be mated under the age of 1 year. 9 months is too young and he is probably not Sexually mature yet. Wait i little while longer for the best results. Dogs only get mature when at least 10 months of age.
For more info on the breeding techniques, check the links below. Also, search of google for more info.
Good Luck :D

I surely hope all you dogs are DNA tested. AKC requires the male to be DNA tested since you are using him a lot to sire puppies. I have read your question more than once. I am sorry but I really don't think you are knowledge enough to be breeding your dogs. It seems to me that you are just throwing them together and hoping for puppies.
I think, if I were you is to stop what you are doing and learn about breeding dogs. What you are asking here a breeder should already know. What I see here, and hope I am wrong, because sometimes people aren't plain enough on their questions , is that you are over breeding your dogs.
If you want to breed dogs you need to learn everything about it. The good, the bad, and in between.

Do you not agree that there is a problem with pet over population?
